Maybe it's different in Southern California. And, maybe it is where I hang out. I can't seem to escape Shag. Tower Records has all kinds of stuff that he's stamped his characters on in order to sell a product. Again, I'd probably do the same if I were in his shoes, so I'm being totally hypocritical. I just feel like he's diluting the "cool" of his paintings. Totally my opinion though.

I prefer vintage stuff to the new stuff but I do have a bunch of Tiki Farm mugs. They make great stuff. I never ment to come off as elitist. I like Holden, he's a nice guy, and a snappy dresser. I too, dig all the new carvers and mug makers. Maybe it's because they don't have the resources but I don't foresee Bamboo Ben bath soap or Crazy Al cocktail sugar.

Oh, just in time for the holidays..... Shagmart is gonna have new Shag Watches and Ties!
